He's nearly as explosive as Jones and I think Jones could play SDE in this system quite well. Hell, Jones could probably play Leo well if asked. Tillery's not far removed from him athletically. He's incredible long and has the functional strength thrive anywhere you put him.
He's not what we've come to expect from edge players in our recent history as a 3-4 team, but as a 4-3 DE, especially if Spags isn't looking for a speed rusher, I think he can do the job quite well.
Everyone says that Tanoh is really a 4-3 DE - what physical advantages does Tanoh have on Tillery? Tillery is incredibly athletic; far more than most seem to want to give him credit for. I'm not saying it's where he'd be best, but he could absolutely do a good job on the end.
